[COMPILING] LUA library liblua5.1.so path problem on Linux

(Madras) #1

Hi! Yesterday I downloaded the latest Ubuntu to compile Unix binaries of my mod. I had not been using any Linux before.

Ok, I compiled *.so binaries, but when I started my Linux server, console returned an error:


Sys_LoadDll(/usr/local/games/enemy-territory/rtcwet/qagame.mp.i386.so)... 
Sys_LoadDll(/usr/local/games/enemy-territory/rtcwet/qagame.mp.i386.so) failed:
"release-x86-Linux-2.1-gcc3/game/lua/libs/unix/liblua5.1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
Sys_LoadDll(qagame) failed dlopen() completely!

So, qagame cannot open liblua5.1.so although I put this library in same directory as etded.x86. Tell me how to change LUA library path. I hadnt got any error with LUA on a Windows version of my mod.

To compile Unix version I used Perl script:

perl cons -- release gcc3

The cons file is in …/src/unix/ directory.

I hope You will help me this time. Thanks.

Hi!

Yes, Normally liblua5.1.so should be in the same directory than etded.x86
For example, with ETPub it work.

Verify your CHMOD’s Attrib rights perhaps ? Or perhaps your user’s rights…

Depend perhaps of your MOD ?

Generally it is an automatically detect.
I am not sure it could be a Cvar to set path… ???

I suggest you to ask on the Forum concerning the MOD you use, or to look a your MOD’s documentation :wink:

Previously I typed: chmod -R 777 enemy-territory
My modification is based on ETPub 0.9.1. I’ve got pure offical ETPub too which uses same library file and it works fine. I think theres something wrong during compiling.

I suppose that I must set any of these env variables in perl script:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
LUA_PATH
LUA_CPATH
to value ET root directory. But I can’t.

EDIT:
Problem solved!
